+1 for this change.

But I wonder if we shouldn't go further: I find it really ugly that we
have to put the TM next to the GNOME logo on our t-shirts, for
instance... If this is covered by the "many non-commercial and informal
uses" that will omit the symbol, then I actually wonder: when should it
not be omitted?

Cheers,
